Step 1Given: 7.351Just for demonstration I am going to insert the part of the number we are interested in inside square brackets.Write 7.351 as [7.3]51The number immediately to the right of the closing bracket is 5.The general rule is:If the trailing number ( my choice of wording) is 5 or more then we round up. If the &#039;trailing number&#039; is less than 5 we round down. By &#039;rounding down&#039; they mean that the number part inside the brackets is left as it is and the number part outside is discarded5≥5 so round upSo 7.351=7.4 to 1 decimal placeStep 2Just to make the process clearerSuppose we had [7.3]212&amp;lt;5 so we round down giving 7.3Suppose we had [7.3]616&amp;gt;5 so we round up giving 7.4
